Using bass guitar with Pro Tracks

Does anyone use a bass guitar with Pro Tracks? I play guitar through the GNX4 and bought a bass to add some realism to my backing tracks. I plugged in the bass through the GNX4 and it worked, but was kinda limited as far as the tones you can get. Maybe I haven't spent enough time with it. Are there other bass processors that are compatible with Pro Tracks? Any feedback to get me on the right track would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you try one of the bass amp models?

    GNX is perfectly capable of handling a bass signal as far as hardware goes. Not sure what accomodations are made within the firmware to adjust for the differences, though. I recently loaded BNX3 firmware on my GNX3, and now use that for bass. It's a great unit.

    Bass into a good preamp works too. Or into a bass amp, running direct. Or bass amp into mic preamp (at instrument-level output). Many solutions are possible. Since you have a GNX4, you can get just about any bass processor or amp (e.g. bass version of V-Amp) and run directly into line-in on GNX4.

    One other option: get a DI box and run the bass dry into the mic input.
